About Me

Shm0rt - DevOps & Linux Craftsman

Passionate about stripping systems down to their elegant essentials. I see complex infrastructure challenges as puzzles waiting for clean, minimalist solutions that deliver maximum impact. For three years as a DevOps platform developer, I've been crafting high-performance environments using Proxmox, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code—building systems that breathe efficiency. My open-source focus keeps me at the cutting edge where innovation meets practicality. When I architect solutions, bloat and complexity simply aren't invited to the table. The philosophy is straightforward: build it right, build it lean, and watch it outperform the alternatives—because in my world, less truly is more.

What Makes Me Tick

How I Collaborate

  • Direct communication gets us where we need to go—no unnecessary detours.
  • Starting with the full picture helps me deliver exactly what you need, first time around.
  • I'm a fan of quick check-ins to stay on the same page, and I'm just a call away when things are urgent.

My Rhythm

  • I value structure but won't hesitate to put in extra hours for projects that spark excitement.
  • You'll find I take time to understand your messages completely before crafting thoughtful replies.
  • My best work happens in focused stretches—it's how the magic happens.

The Secret Sauce

  • The clearer your vision, the better I can bring it to life—details matter!
  • I'm all about the right tool for the right job—no bloat, just solutions that work.
  • Let's focus on end goals together and trust each other's expertise along the way.

Worth Noting

  • Clear objectives help me hit the target every time.
  • I'm open to pivots when they make the end result better.
  • I thrive when given space to work my technical magic.
